The American TV audience watches more NFL Football than any other sport. With the 2020-21 season is in full swing, many are wondering how to watch the games. It's still not that easy without a cable subscription, reports Business Insider. Broadcast rights continue to be spread across several networks, with a few games per week. The games are shown exclusively on some channels, including ESPN, NBC, Fox, CBS, and the NFL Network.
After several tumultuous months, the quirky short-form video streaming service Quibi is calling it a day. Following earlier reports that Quibi had been courting potential buyers, company leadership appeared to be looking to offload the service onto someone else. Quibi bet big on its so-called Turnstyle technology that lets mobile users see two different perspectives depending on their phone’s orientation. But on Wednesday, Quibi founder Jeffrey Katzenberg notified investors that he was indeed shutting the service down mere months after launching in April. Gizmodo reports Katzenberg has repeatedly blamed the pandemic for Quibi’s failure to launch. However, Quibi failed to meet viewers where they preferred to watch--particularly after the launch of rival services like Peacock and HBO Max.
Employees of a call center contractor for Amazon are complaining of dangerous working conditions in the city of Cebu, in the Philippines. Business Insider reports workers say they're being forced to make an impossible choice: either become infected with COVID-19--or starve. The contractor, Teleperformance, provides call center services for Amazon's Ring video doorbell products. Dozens of the call center's employees have developed flu-like symptoms, which are characteristic of COVID-19 infection. As public transport has been shut down in Cebu, workers were sleeping on the floor at work so as not to arrive late for their shifts. Workers say that workstations aren't properly sanitized, and when shifts overlap, or when staff sleep on the floor, it's difficult to socially distance. Workers allege that cleaners come through sporadically and when they do, it's with a bucket of water and a towel. People are scared because we don't know who has it and who doesn't have it. But people don't have a choice, because it's either you will be infected or you will die of starvation. Contractor, Teleperformance
